“What will the world be like ten years from now?”

In 2014, Gareth Fry set off in an ice-cream van turned recording studio and travelled to school playgrounds and public spaces in Corby and Kettering, inviting people to imagine the world ten years into the future, through the eyes of ten year olds.

Their answers were woven together, creating a series of unique soundscapes called Ten Years From Now. 

Ten years on, the project comes full circle, and Fuel is releasing this audio version to mark its 20th birthday – this time with a fresh remix. 

Ten Years From Then invites you to join us in reflecting on those hopes and dreams from ten years ago, and how the world has twisted, turned, and transformed.

The project was piloted in summer 2014 as part of Fuel’s 10th Birthday Season. The audio installation was launched in August at Corby Cube as part of the Made in Corby programme. Two schools were involved in the project: Rockingham Primary (Corby) and Greenfields Primary (Kettering).
